Struct StringSectionAccessor

pub struct StringSectionAccessor<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A section data accessor intended to string tables

For example:

use std::fs::File;
use std::io;
use std::io::{BufReader, Error};
use elfio::{Elfio, StringSectionAccessor}; // Uncomment in the real code

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let elf_file = File::open("tests/files/hello_64")?;
    let mut file_reader = BufReader::new(elf_file);

    let mut elf = elfio::Elfio::new();

    elf.load(&mut file_reader)?;

    let section = elf.get_section_by_name(".strtab");

    match section {
        Some(s) => {
            let strtab = StringSectionAccessor::new(&elf, s);
            println!("{}", strtab.get_string(1));
        }
        None => return Err(Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, "section not found")),
    }

    Ok(())
}
